Furthermore, at APA we believe our online users have a right to know what information we collect when you visit our Website. This Online Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we gather about you, how we gather your information, how we use it, with whom we might share it, the means by which we keep it secure and the choices you have about the information you choose to share with us.

Please note that the Website may contain advertisements placed by third-party advertisers and may contain links to other sites that that we believe you might find useful. Advertisers or the operators of linked sites may sometimes gather information from you. We wish to caution you that you must take the responsibility for investigating, and must rely upon, the privacy policies of advertisers or of linked sites.APA has no control over such privacy policies or information submitted to advertisers or linked sites.

What Information Do We collect and How Do We Collect It?

When you register with the Website or submit your resume to the Website or to APA via e-mail, you may be asked to complete an online form asking for some information relevant to your job search. We collect some or all of the following types of information:

In addition, because of the way that World Wide Web communication standards work, when you arrive at or leave the Website, we automatically receive the Web addresses of the site that you came from or are going to. We also may collect information on which pages of the Website you visit while you are on the Website, the type of browser you use and the times you access the Website. Information referred to in this paragraph is called “Website Traffic Information”.

How Do We Use the Information?

We make your resume, and the other information you submit (except Website Traffic Information), available to prospective employers who use our services for the primary purpose for which the information was collected, assisting you with your job search. We may use your name, address, and e-mail address to contact you about matters relevant to your job search.

APA does not share personally identifiable information with any nonaffiliated third parties other than for the primary purpose for which the information was collected, except with your express permission, or in the limited circumstances described below:

  1. We may disclose information that we believe in good faith is appropriate to cooperate in investigations of fraud or other illegal activity, or to conduct investigations of violations of our Terms of Use. This means that if we conduct a fraud investigation and conclude that someone who has submitted information to us has engaged in deceptive practices, we may give that person’s contact information to interested parties who request it.
  2. We may disclose information in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver or other comparable legal process, including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action.
  3. We may disclose information to your agent or legal representative (such as the holder of a power of attorney that you grant, or a guardian appointed for you).
  4. We may share aggregated statistical data with others for public relations, marketing or other purposes. Such data will not, however, be tied to personally identifiable information.

APA uses Website Traffic Information only to try to understand your preferences better and to manage the load on our servers, so as to improve our service and your experience on the Website. We do not track the websites that you visit before or after you leave the APA Website.
In the event all, substantially all, or a part of APA’s business were sold, transferred, or disposed of in accordance with legal proceedings, user information, including identifying information, may, of course, become available to the purchaser or transferee and would be subject to its privacy policies.
